What is a page?

Maybe I'm missing a previous post, or something in the user documentation, but what is a page? On a select few groups there is a New Page option in the +New button, which creates a /p/ URL (as opposed to the /f/ for forum, /w/ for wiki). I can't figure out how this is enabled or how it is even an option to add to other groups. 

Looking at the groups that do have it enabled I think there are some great possibilities to create layouts, but I'm baffled as to how they even come to be, or even the option to create one. 

Appreciate clarity as to what this is, how it's used, and how to enable it.

  •   I love using the pages for a variety of use cases that don't directly correlate to content like forums, wikis, etc like you mentioned. I have a few different informational/landing pages that wouldn't fit into the rest of the site architecture. A few examples:

    We also have some upcoming initiatives for our company that need landing pages for a catalog of reference materials, but since it's not relevant to ALL customers, we didn't want to put groups or blog posts out in the "regular" community, but they still need to be publicly accessibly. For some of these pages, they're part of the site theme from the home page, but I added the Custom Metadata widget and <meta name=“robots” content=“noindex”> so they're not readily available for people that haven't been emailed the direct link.

    All of these come with the benefit that I was able to customize more of the theme of the page without worrying about the functional buttons (join, digests, create, report abuse, etc) and had more flexibility over the page-specific CSS and other widgets.
